, CHU BNING ATTACHMENT.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, IsAAo B. RosENTnAL,

' of the city and county of Philadelphia and or beaten coming in contactwith metal parts,

such as the driving devices, and for this purpose I locate the drivingdevices above a base piece or frame which rests upon and closes themouth of the jar. The driving devices may be inclosed by a suitablecasing to protect them.

The entire attachment is very light, strong,

and simple.

Another object of my invention is to render the attachment convertible,so that it may be used as a churn for butter-making or as an egg-beateror for other purposes by simply changing the agitating-shaft to onehaving the appropriate form of agitator.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a churnembodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation with part in 'pieceI) of the churn.

vertical section showing the invention applied to an egg-beater, andFig. 3 is a side elevation of the driving mechanism with the inclosinghousing in vertical section.

a is the jar, usually of pottery, which contains the substances to bebeaten or churned. The jar is preferably of reduced diameter or conicalat the top to prevent the materials from risinginto the top of thejarduring the churning or beating operations. The open mouth of the jarmay be provided with an offset rim a), forming a seat-for the base- Thisbase-piece is preferably formed of wood and of a size to close the to ofthe jar. To the top of the basepiece is secured at the center a block 0.A shaft (1, carryingat its lower end the dasher e or beater-f, isjournaled in the base-piece b and block 0 and is provided at its upperend with a pinion g, engaging a gear h, journaled Specification ofLetters Patent.

in suitable housings 'i on the block. The gears are inclosed in a casingsecured to the block, and the shaft is of the gear it extends laterallythrough this casing and is connected with a crank m. x

The jar amay be provided on the sides with ears a in which are insertedthe bails of a handle? for carrying the churn and jar. The base-piece bmay be provided with catches 0 to engage position when the churningdevices are applied. I

To render the apparatus convertible, a

For this purpose I have shown the pinion g vert the apparatus, it isonly necessary to detach the wooden shaft (1 and its dasher andsubstitute a beater and its shaft, attaching the pinion by thescrew p.

Besides the great simplicity of the construction it will be noted thatall of the driving mechanism and metal parts are housed above the woodenbase-piece b, and consequently the cream or contents of the jar cannotcome in contact with them. This is of great importance in butter-churns.

' The churning devices may be easily applied and placed in another.

WhatI claim as new, and desire to secure by LettersPatent, is asfollows:

A churning attachment consisting of a nonmetallic base-piece adapted torest upon and close the mouth of the jar, and having u on its uppersurface a narrow transverse b ock of substantial height, a shaftjournaled in and extending through said block and base-piece and havinga churning device upon its lower. end and a pinion on its upper endabove the block, side cheeks it carried by the sides of said block andforming housings, a driving-shaft journaled in said housings, a gearcarried by said shaft and engaging said set my hand.

attached to the shaft (1 by a screw 1). To conpinion, and a casingcarried by said block and i the handle and hold it in upright beater fmay be substituted for the dasher e.

to the jar and may be removed from one jar
